so i used the windows XP boot CD to delete the E: partition
all that went fine.................

E: (FAT32)
F: (FAT32 with Windows XP)
i want to delete Drive E: for DSL

OK,

Drive e: (assuming this is all one physical drive) is /dev/hda3. You're probably going to need to remove the FAT partition (I use an old boot floppy with a partitioning utility) first, then proceed with the install. You might consider the frugal install, lots of benefits to it! You can read more on the forum.
